REX Shares will launch a blockchain-ETF under the control of analyst CNBC Brian Kelly

American finance company REX Shares, LLC intended to launch an exchange investment fund (ETF) to work with bitcoin, but the US Securities and Exchange Commission refused to approve its application. Now the company plans to launch another ETF, focused on companies operating in the blockchain sector, writes Bloomberg.

“The bid for Bitcoin-ETF was technically withdrawn,” GREG King, CEO of REX, explained. “But we still have the blockchain-ETF, which we expect to launch in the coming weeks. We are happy, because we believe that investors want to work with this technology. We entered into an agreement with the portfolio manager, who controls the cryptocurrency hedge fund. He will become an active manager of our ETF.”

As noted by NewsBTC, active management of ETF is a non-standard approach, since passive indices are traditionally used in such funds. The active manager, which King says, will be Brian Kelly, an analyst with Fast Money at CNBC, who has been a bitcoin investor since 2013, a consultant to the tZero exchange, the Wall Street affiliate alliance and the CME bitcoin futures council.

Brian Kelly founded his own fund called BKCM, which works with cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Stellar, Monero and Litecoin.

In April, Kelly said that bitcoin is similar to the Internet in the 80’s, and stressed that the cryptocurrency should not be classified as a security or a company.

“This is open source software. You can not treat it as a company. Many people make such a mistake, but this is not an action or a company,” he said then.

My name is Julia, I'm 23. I’m into sports, I like to travel. In 2016 I became a master at the faculty of Internet Marketing. Since then I have been working in this field. For myself I chose a narrower direction - SMM specialist and copywriter.
My skills: marketing research, analysis of competitors and target audience, strategic planning, advertising in social networks, various advertising services and graphic editors.
Recently I managed to work with different ICO-projects as a content manager. I’m really interested in blockchain, artificial intelligence and digital marketing. Always up to date with current news and new developments.
Writing articles is a fascinating and cognitive activity for me. In the age of development of cryptocurrencies and blockchain, copywriting for a news resource is a great opportunity to immerse in this sphere.
